Do not stand on the fotrest if it does not touch the ground. Risk of damage with danger of fall injuries or tipping!
Changes to programs can only be done by the retailer. The inadequate operations can be dangerous. All electric wheelchairs are equipped with,
at the time of their sale, a standard program which does not represent any danger for the driver. For all program changes, please contact your
dealer (see first page for coordinates).

2.4 Use Environment
•The wheelchair must be used only on hard surfaces such as roads and paths. Avoid soft grounds (fine sand, mud etc.). The Chair may get
bogged down and tip over. Turns in steep slope can be dangerous. (Danger of tipping!) The maximum slope of 17% must be respected
and the maximum weight of the user must not exceed 140 kg).
Note: The MAGIX is not intended to drive on soft land as the sand end without the specific option. (Option to come; to keep you

•Roll on the nails, spikes or sharp objects can cause punctures, damage the tires and immobilise the wheelchair.
•When the base plate exceeds the safe height of 57cm, it should drive the wheelchair on level ground only and do not cross obstacles or
go down a curb. Danger of tipping.
•The temperatures above than +40C and lower than -15 degrees C may affect the operation of the wheelchair. If it is used in such
temperatures, security cannot be guaranteed and a potential of malfunction exist. These temperatures are allowed in case of storage,
during a shiping or on short trips. (Do not adjust the seat height, tilt angle or backrest angle when extreme temperatures exist.)
•High humidity in the air particularly at night can be damaging to electronic components (control). The result is of the condensed water
which may appear when the wheelchair is often exposed to temperature changes. Operator must avoid exposing the wheelchair to
extrem humidity (ex. holiday in humid regions). Puddles of water deeper than 8 cm must be avoided. If you cannot avoid water to
height of batteries, malfunctions cannot be excluded. For this reason, operator must stop the wheelchair at the first opportunity and
contact your dealer for service immediately.
